Chef Kandla Nijhowne, prepared a few simple yet delicious almond snack
recipes in a matter of minutes and said, “Eating healthy does not mean you only
stick to three meals a day. Smart
snacking is the key! Consuming almonds instead of unwholesome snacks, can
make a healthy difference to our lives. Try flavouring almonds at home with
your favourite spices to give your family as a snack. You can also pair them
with summer foods such as mangoesor melons to make a healthy and tasty snack”.
He added, “Keep almonds always handy in your kitchens so you can keep
experimenting with flavouring and pairing. This way you will never forget your perfect daily
portion.”
NutritionistAastha Khungarsaid, “Regular
exercise and simple modifications in the daily diet can help a great deal in
leading a healthier life. However, while some people plan for healthy meals,
they tend to overlook snack time. Hence, switching to smarter snacking options,
particularly those that enhance satiety, can be very helpful.Clinical research
shows that a handful of almonds have satiating properties that promote feelings
of fullness, which may keep hunger at bay between meals[1]. This makes them a healthy
and weight-wise snack. I encourage my
clients to consume almonds regularly, throughout the year, irrespective of the
season. Munching on a handful of almonds (30 grams/ 23 almonds), keeps you
energised through the day”.
